![]() As part of our science curriculum we are going to explore liquids, hot and cold temperatures, and buoyancy and boats. As an introduction to these ideas we are asking the question: What Is The Story With Water? Our first few conversations about water will include questions, such as:
In exploring these ideas, grade two students will more fully understand the scientific properties of water and the importance of water in our lives and as part our environment. We will also explore non-fiction and fiction stories about different forms of water, including snow, ice, hail, rain, and sleet. This will give us the opportunity to learn from the stories of published authors, which will support us as we generate and write stories of our own. In turn, we will move into Social Studies and focus on the role water plays in communities across Canada, and for communities as part of Canada's history. We will continue to use water and the art of story telling to learn about Inuit, Acadian, and prairie communities in Canada.
We look forward to taking this journey of learning with your children! Comments are closed.
